Adorning Eva 'Jamiya' Statement Necklace - As Seen in LOOK magazine

B here...

I was about the 2nd page into reading LOOK magazine when I see this beautiful colourful necklace then next thing you know, I'm on Adorning Ava's website and adding it to my basket. 

I hadn't heard of Adorning Ava before but so happy we've been introduced. 

At £22, it's a real gem! Beautiful colours, beads and jewels! It has everything and makes any outfit look that much better.

Rose Gold Michael Kors Watch

Zee here...

I finally got round to using the money that I got for my 21st birthday last year and bought myself a beautiful Michael Kors watch! From the start I knew I wanted to use the money for a watch as it seemed like a lovely keepsake but I also wanted to make sure it was the right one. It didn't take long for me to set my heart on a Michael Kors watch as all the collection are stunning. 

I loved this watch when I saw it and I can't get enough of the colour rose gold now! At first though I was a little worried as all of my expensive jewellery is silver so I was concerned this wouldn't match. However rose gold seems to go perfectly with both silver and gold! I feel like the colour helps make the watch stand out and look more stylish too. The watch has a bit of weight to it which shows that's it's made from good quality material but because it's a perfect fit you can't feel the weight at all when wearing it, it's actually very comfortable! 

I was lucky enough to purchase my watch while on holiday in Florida. I knew I wanted to buy my watch out there so it became my mission to find a Michael Kors store (turned out to be very easy). We found one in an outlet shopping district in Estero. The photo below shows the outside of the store, the inside was beautiful! Surrounded by stunning bags, purses and jewellery it was hard to focus but I knew what I came for. The staff were so lovely and welcoming, even offering advice on what we should do in the area, I really didn't expect it from such a high end store! I was throroughly impressed and left with a big smile on my face. And the best part? My watch only cost $250 which is the equivalent of around £160 - sooo much cheaper than in the UK! I love my watch and had a great time buying it in the Michael Kors store.

Bill Skinner Drinks Party

B here...

I got a bit snap happy as you will find throughout this post, which is understandable as Bill Skinner jewellery is absolutely divine. My friend Vikki and I went to Bill Skinner's Drinks Party on Friday 25th July at their Tenterden shop. I was so excited to go!

Welcomed with champagne...cheers!

and delicious canapés with vegetables and dip.

Love the bunting!

There's the lovely Vikki deciding which piece to buy.

Too many choices...I love them all!

Here is the lovely Rachel who is the Manageress of the Tenterden store who has been a great help with deciding what jewellery suits me. There is Oliver, the photographer and owner of Legend Photography who took some great photos and Vikki and I had a little photo shoot which was so much fun. Oliver is fun, makes you feel completely relaxed and very friendly.

 These are the 2 gorgeous rings that I decided to buy. The Hedgerow Statement Ring at £75 and the Leopard Ring at £60. I also got 10% off them as a special discount for the event, so I could justify buying 2!

I love the Hedgerow Statement Ring so much! It's so unique and beautifully designed. The colours and detail is amazing and will go with everything.

Love the bird

 Here is the Leopard Ring, I was nearly out the door with my Hedgerow Statement Ring but then I saw the Leopard Ring and had to try it on, which led to me buying it too!

 

It's such a nice ring and looks great on.

Thank you for such a lovely day and looking forward to your future events!

Accessorize Sterling Silver Earrings

Zee here...

I've had the second and third holes in my ear pierced for a few years but for the past year I haven't really bothered wearing any earrings in them and eventually assumed they'd closed. When I found out they hadn't I knew right away I wanted some cute tiny earrings in them as I didn't want to swamp my ear in jewellery. Whenever I need new earrings the first place I think of is Accessorize as it always has such pretty jewellery. I also like the fact they have a range that is sterling silver jewellery which reduces the chances of irritation or a reaction from the metal. 

The picture below shows the cute little earrings I found! I originally pictured myself just getting two small gems but this pack had sweet tiny flowers and birds so I couldn't resist! They are the perfect size and look great in my ear!

I have already received compliments on how lovely the little flower earrings are so I'm really pleased with my purchase! These earrings cost £8, which isn't bad for three pairs. Also because they are sterling sliver they shouldn't rust or change colour.

I will regularly be checking to see when Accessorize gets any more lovely little earrings in so I can expand my collection.

MAC Dazzleglass Lip Gloss & Bill Skinner Bee and Honeycomb Ring

B here...

My friend bought this lovely MAC Dazzleglass lip gloss called Baby Sparks this weekend and thought I would share because it's a lovely colour. It was £17.50, which I thought is a little steep but I have used MAC lip glosses before and they last ages so it's worth it.

It's a love pink colour with sparkly glitter too and super shiny on. My friend has fair skin and this lip gloss really compliments her. The only downside is that it is super sticky and if a wind blew then all your hair will definitely be stuck on your month, but this is what we deal with for beauty products eh?

I also couldn't resist popping my new Bill Skinner Bee & Honeycomb ring in the photo because I love it so much :) Who knew a piece of jewellery could make you so happy!

Bill Skinner Jewellery

B here...

I journeyed to Tenterden this morning to visit Bill Skinner's jewellery boutique. I had looked on the website a few days before and found so many unique pieces I wanted, so I figured the 40 minute drive was in order to go have a look. 

Here is Bill Skinner's boutique in Tenterden. It is a lovely small store with a great window display. I noticed lots of passersbys stopping and looking at the jewellery. There is also a Bill Skinner boutique in Otford.

Here is part of the window displaying showing off the Curios collection. 

Inside the boutique, there are glass display boxes in the middle with the jewellery presented on slate. On the left is the March Hares and Tiger collection and on the right is the Curios and Frog & Lilipad collection.

Here is the leopard collection and I already have my eye on the leopard ring!

On the walls, there are these lovely shots that really show off the jewellery. The model is wearing a ring from the Curios collection, the Bee & Floral ring - "a piece of natural world captured in each glass dome"

This is the packaging and my lovely jewellery is safely boxed up inside. 

A box you can keep forever and place your jewellery in while you don't wear them. Love the grey and green satin bag!

Here are the gorgeous pieces I got today!  The Temple necklace, the Bee & Honeycomb Orb necklace and the Bee & Honeycomb ring.

The Bee & Honeycomb ring was £60, the Bee & Honeycomb Orb necklace was £95 and the Temple necklace was £50. I'm so love with them! They are unique and fun and you won't see everyone wearing them.

This is the Temple necklace up close. Set in 18ct, there you can see a miniature Statue of Zeus sitting on his Rhodium plated throne.

I think people may have to do a double take to check it's not a real bee! I was concerned that the bee may get caught on clothes, but it's absolutely fine and I can't stop looking at it.

Some of the pieces may say Out of Stock online, but it's worth calling or tweeting them to see if it is in one of their boutiques.

Tiffany Tear-drop Necklace

Zee here...

I just wanted to share with you this stunning Tiffany tear-drop necklace I got for my 21st birthday from my Auntie! I absolutely love it - it was such a thoughtful gift! The tear-drop is in the unique Tiffany turquoise shade which makes it even more beautiful. This necklace works well as a stunning centre piece to an outfit as the colour catches the attention. The presentation box that Tiffany provide the necklace in is simple but still looks elegant.

Mint Velvet Necklaces

B here...

My sister came to visit last weekend, so we decided to pop into Mint Velvet on Tunbridge Wells High Street to have a browse. I knew for a fact that I wouldn't be leaving empty handed as their necklaces are so nice and the lovely styling guru Lynne Meek had tweeted a picture of a Mint Velvet necklace she had recently worn, which I loved.

We arrived at Mint Velvet and as soon as I walked in, I had already spotted one necklace that I wanted. The Rose Gold Bolt necklace for £35. It's the perfect length for me as I really only wear long necklaces. You could describe it as tribal with the beads and orange black colouring.

I continued to look around and on the counter, there was this stand of necklaces and I spotted the one that Lynne had tweeted and it was lovely. I tried it on and was the perfect length again and would be a great addition to layer up with my other necklaces. The necklace is called Fine Arrowhead & Stone and is also £35.

Here's the packaging: a lovely small Mint Velvet bag and each necklace in a protective pouch.

Here are the necklaces that my lovely other half bought me. The Rose Gold Bolt necklace on the left and the Fine Arrowhead & Stone necklace on the right, both at £35.

Layered + Long Wishbone Necklace

B here...

I recently stumbled across Layered + Long on Instagram. They sell personalised jewellery and I'm sure you have guessed from the name, they have lovely long and layered necklaces that you can build on and they have a selection of lengths. It took around 2 weeks to arrive as it has to be handmade and shipped from the U.S.

Here's the packaging it arrived it. A sweet little brown box wrapped in their brand. 

Another nice and personalised touch is the little card saying Enjoy!

There's the necklace I ordered and I love it! Lovely long gold chain (32 inches) and wishbone pendant.

I will definitely be ordering more to build up my layering necklace. 

Thank you Layered + Long!

Primark Colourful Chunky Necklace

B here...

As I've said in a previous post, I went to Lakeside Shopping Centre the other weekend and went a bit mad in Primark. With some trips to Primark, I find nothing but on this occasion it was quite the opposite and left with 4 pairs of shoes, a necklace, a cami top and mini Cath Kidston lookalike lanterns!

This necklace really caught my eye with all the summery colours of blue, pinks and reds and at £6, you can't go wrong. It's not particularly heavy and can jazz up a casual look.

Lakeside Primark is a really good one compared to some other Primark's I have visited. It has 3 massive floors and it's all spaced out and not too cramped where people are trampling on you.

Overall, I love the necklace and on my next Primark trip, I hope I find some more treasures.

Stella & Dot

B here...

Last month, I went to a styling event at a shop called Pure Collection in Tunbridge Wells. This is where I found Stella & Dot jewellery! They had so many beautiful necklaces to choose from, but I controlled myself and only bought one, the Rebel necklace in gold at £65.

It was nicely packaged up, as you can see below. Great pattern and so colourful.

The pendant is surprisingly heavy, which is perfect as it stays in place. I literally wear it with every outfit as it's so versatile and goes with everything. On the left, I'm wearing it with a black Topshop top and on the right with a blue and white striped swing dress from Boohoo.com.

Stella & Dot's Rebel necklace has also be seen on celebrity Selena Gomez.

To summarise, this was my first purchase from Stella & Dot and definitely not my last!

Love 

B xx
